Sips Image Resizer: Fast Proportional Compression

This is a lightweight application focused on "percentage scaling." When you don't need to worry about precise pixel values but want to quickly resize a batch of images to half (50%) or quarter (25%) of their original size, this tool will be very efficient.

⚡️ Quick Start

1. Select Images: Click "Select Image Folder" to add your images.
2. Choose Scaling Ratio: Click the preset 50% button.
3. Choose Save Method: Select Save to Specified Folder and specify an output directory.
4. Click the "Execute" Button: After the command completes, you'll get the resized image files.

🤔 When Should I Use It?

• You just took a bunch of high-resolution photos and want to resize them all to 50% for easy sharing via email or instant messaging.
• You need to prepare images for a blog post, but the originals are too large, so you want to quickly compress them to 75% of their original size to speed up web page loading.
• You simply want to save disk space by uniformly reducing the size of some backup images.

⚙️ Parameter Description

• Select Image Files/Folder: Add source images that need processing. Supports single selection or batch processing of entire folders.

• Scaling Presets:

  • Preset Cards (25%, 50%, 75%): Quick selection of common reduction ratios.
  • Custom: Activates the slider below for more precise ratio adjustment.

• Custom Scaling Ratio: Only available when "Custom" preset is selected, allows you to set scaling values between 10% and 100% using the slider. 100% means keeping the original size.

• Save Options:

  • Overwrite Original Files: The operation will take effect directly on the original files, this operation cannot be undone.
  • Save to Specified Folder: Save resized copies to your chosen folder, leaving original files unaffected (recommended).

⚠️ Important Notes

• This command depends on the sips tool that comes with macOS, so it's only available on macOS.
• "Overwrite Original Files" is a destructive operation. Please make sure you no longer need the original-sized images before executing.
• This is a responsive interface, and all your settings will be reflected in real-time in the command area below.
